Yet a study that involved giving homeless people money without strings attached showed that most spent it on things to improve their future, like buying a used car, paying off debt, pursuing education, starting a business and getting a home. There were no adverse outcomes for any of the participants.
But still our society will judge the homeless and make out they’re all feckless addicts who can’t be trusted with help.
I appreciate these studies because giving resources to poor people is in the best interest of poor people. But lets do some studies where they give 5-20 bucks to the homeless because that more faithfully replicates me handing them money as opposed to a Universal Basic Income.
